 Nativity scene controversy: Local atheist says church's new display takes it too FarKGAN, By Nick El Hajj, on November 28, 2024 https://cbs2iowa.com/news/local/nativity-scene-controversy-local-atheist-says-churchs-new-display-takes-it-too-farSolid Rock Bible Church in Iowa added an unusual twist to its nativity scene this year, including King Herod as a character and labeling him an atheist. This provocative choice ties non-belief to the infamous biblical ruler who allegedly ordered the massacre of infants in an attempt to kill baby Jesus. The story of Herod's massacre, however, appears in only one gospel—Matthew—and lacks historical evidence. The church's exaggerated depiction of Herod, complete with fangs, raises questions about its motives and the broader implications of demonizing atheists. Cindy reflects on the entrenched American stereotype that atheists lack morality, a misconception rooted in religious beliefs. She contrasts this with Europe, where atheists do not face such widespread prejudice. Cindy also notes that while the nativity scene's exaggerations are offensive, they are ultimately harmless due to their placement on private property. She humorously suggests that the church should fully embrace its theatrical tendencies by adding characters like Bugs Bunny to the scene. AJ highlights the irony of the display, pointing out that the Bible itself recounts God ordering the killing of babies in Egypt. He critiques the lack of historical corroboration for Herod's alleged massacre, arguing that the display relies solely on the Bible's narrative. AJ also emphasizes the issue of religious displays in public spaces, firmly opposing taxpayer-funded religious symbolism. He defends efforts to remove unconstitutional displays, arguing that such actions protect the principle of freedom of religion for all citizens. Rob finds the theatrical nativity scene amusing but critiques its demonization of atheists. He contrasts this with the Satanic Temple's Baphomet statues, which aim to normalize rather than vilify. Rob notes that while the church's exaggerations are laughable, they reveal a deeper intent to perpetuate harmful stereotypes about atheists. He dismisses concerns about a resurgence of satanic panic, suggesting that the rise of non-religious Americans makes such widespread moral panics unlikely.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.50.3 featuring Infidel 64, Cindy Plaza, AJ and RobBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

We're continuing our December conversations on the birth of Christ by taking a closer look at the scene of the nativity. While most of us have nativity sets in our homes, they don't always convey the full details the gospels record. We discuss how the night of Jesus' birth might have really looked and what it teaches us about the meaning of Jesus' coming into history and humanity. 

I appreciate you listening to this Podcast, however I would suggest that you also view the Video version.Available On the Our Walk Together Channel on YouTube The first nativity scene was created by St. Francis in 1223.St. Francis's vision transformed how Christians celebrate Christmas.The nativity scene embodies a profound understanding of love.St. Francis connected poverty and humility as inseparable twins.The first nativity scene was a community effort in Greccio.St. Francis aimed to make faith tangible through physical experiences.The tradition of the nativity scene spread rapidly across Europe.Pope Nicholas IV established a permanent nativity scene in Rome.St. Francis's legacy teaches the importance of simple expressions of faith.The nativity scene remains relevant and meaningful today.

Christmas is coming and what more could we ask for than a truly chaotic, non-canonical episode of Glee. This is the infamous S5E8, "Previously Unaired Christmas."  While Glee's Christmas episodes are generally beloved by fans, this is not one of them.

Tune in this weekend to Vatican Insider not only for a Vatican news roundup but to listen to a Special I have prepared in lieu of an interview! For many in Italy – institutions, churches, businesses and families – the Christmas season lasts up to and including the February 2 feast of the Presentation. For decades under Popes John Paul and Benedict XVI, the Christmas tree and nativity scene stayed up in St. Peter's Square until that date, as did many of the presepe in various Vatican offices, in the Paul VI Hall and places like the Vatican post office, bringing the Christmas spirit of joy to countless people. So, in that prolonged Christmas season and spirit of joy, this week I bring you a special on some extraordinary nativity scenes that you can actually see all year round in Italy. Gather the children around, the young and young at heart, as you listen to this special.

Am I the Uninvited Guest at the Nativity Scene? (Sunday 24th December 2023)

During this podcast, host Tawana Lowery shares three important strategies that will help us overcome disappointment (regardless of the circumstances) AND … Keep our Joy!! And as the new year approaches, let these strategies arm you with a game plan to transcend the disappointment traps that might arise.       SCRIPT:   How to Overcome Disappointment and Keep Your Joy By Tawana Lowery (excerpts taken from her upcoming book)   1.     The Holiday Seasons is typically a time for celebrating with friends and loved ones.   2.     But it can also present the greatest opportunity to experience the pain of Disappointment…   ·        Though we might not want to readily admit it… ·        Disappointment is big part of life…   ·        Disappointment hurts and stings… ·        Especially when it involves relationships. ·        But most of all… disappointment steals our joy.     3.     During this Podcast, I want to review 3 Strategies that will help us Overcome Disappointment (regardless of the circumstances) AND … Keep our Joy!!   4.     And as the new year approaches, I believe these strategies will arm you with a game plan to Transcend the Disappointment Traps that might arise.       5.     Like you… I've had numerous disappointing experiences. ·        But one that stands out happened when I was only 8 years old. ·        And it happened during the holiday season.   6.     In those days we still called it a Christmas Party.   7.     Second only to the last day of school, it was the most anticipated day of the entire year.   8.     Each hallway and classroom was covered with beautiful decorations.   9.     And the tantalizing aroma of Christmas Cookies hung like a thick fog, consuming every corner of every room.   10. Weeks of anticipation followed by hours of celebration concluded with the most exciting part of the day.   ·        The Student Gift Exchange!   11. The ritual consisted of the teacher passing out each gift (in a very orderly fashion of course).   12. After what seemed a lifetime, she found the present with my name on it.   13. As she approached my desk, my exuberance quickly devolved into disappointment!     14.  Because my sweet teacher wasn't holding a beautifully wrapped gift with a shiny bow…. It was nothing of the sort!   ·        Instead, she was carrying what appeared to be a ball of aluminum foil….   15. With an awkward wince of embarrassment, she placed the horrifying blob on my desk.     16. Well…. my initial reaction was total confusion. Surely my name was not on THAT.   17.  It wasn't even a present…. Seriously… who in their right mind would give a ball of crumpled aluminum foil as a Christmas gift?   18. Fighting back the crocodile tears, I quickly snatched it off my desk and placed it in my lap… trying to remain expressionless.     19. As I clutched it tightly, in an effort to hide the evidence, I could feel that something was wrapped inside.   20. I thought… “Should I open it now or wait until I get home?”   21. The thoughts were racing back and forth. 22. But soon my 8 year old curiosity took control.   23. With eyes straight ahead and emotions at bay, I slowly pushed back the foil with my fingertips.   ·        That's when embarrassment gave way to complete bewilderment.   24. Inside the crumpled ball of foil was a small Plastic Donkey.   ·        It was the kind of humble little grey burrow you might see in a Nativity Scene. ·        It had very sad eyes and a bowed head.   25. A donkey! A plastic donkey! What on earth can you do with a plastic donkey? ·        Just to add insult to injury, it wasn't even new.   26. As I gazed at this unimaginable nightmare… My mind quickly recalled my shopping trip from the previous week.     27. I thought about the time I invested selecting the perfect gift for my classmate.   ·        It was wrapped with tender care, by yours truly. ·        Then finished to perfection with a lovely bow! ·        Yet despite my tireless efforts, this is what I get in return?   28. You know… that event happened more than 40 years ago, and yet the disappointment I experienced is branded in my memory.       So… here's the point of the story? 29. Sometimes we give our very best to people and circumstances only to receive a Plastic Donkey in return.   30. Sometimes situations over which we have no control cause embarrassment and heartache, leaving us with a stomach full of disappointment and let-down.     31. But… What if we could overcome those deflated emotions and bounce back with a fervent determination to Keep our Joy?   ·        That's what these 3 Principles will help you achieve. The first Principle is…. “Keep it in Perspective.” 1.     A few days after the Christmas party, my mother learned the details behind the gift I had received.   ·        My classmate, Teresa and her family were struggling.   ·        Her father had lost his job, and her mom was fighting a serious illness. ·        Teresa's family had no money and no insurance for medical expenses. ·        In fact, the community was providing money for food and other basic needs. ·        No doubt, they were facing a very bleak holiday season.        2.     My mom also explained how that little plastic donkey was part of their family Nativity Scene.   ·        And it just so happened, the little sad burrow was Teresa's favorite character piece.   ·        In actuality, Teresa gave me something very near and dear to her heart.   ·        She gave the best she had to offer. You might even say her gift was sacrificial… sort of like the offering of the Widows Mite in the Bible. 3.     Although my hurt from the disappointment was real, learning more about Teresa's situation shed new light on the entire event.   ·        It helped me view it from a higher perspective. ·        As a result, my disappointed heart was transformed into a heart of compassion. ·        Keeping it in perspective gave me the emotional strength to keep my joy.     The second Principle for Keeping our Joy is… “Keep Giving Your Best.”   1.     When we returned to school after the holidays…  I decided to give Teresa what she had given me.   ·        She gave me her best. How could I do any less?   2.     For the remainder of the school year, I poured into her life as much as possible.   ·        I helped her with homework so she could make better grades. ·        We sat together at lunch so she wouldn't be alone. ·        Because we were the same size, I gave her some of my clothes and shoes.   3.     Teresa and Tawana became best buds, and we both excelled because of it.   4.     She discovered there was a great student on the inside with the ability to learn and grow.   5.     I discovered leadership abilities that allowed me to inspire others to excel.    6.     Staying true to your core values in the midst of the pain, is vital for overcoming disappointment.   ·        That includes being intentional to give your best regardless of what other don't give you.       7.     Think about it like this… ·        If you want to keep your joy, then be sure to engage in activities that set you up to achieve it.   8.     After all, it's very difficult to give your best while experiencing sadness at the same time.     Let's wrap this up with the third Principle for Keeping our Joy which is to… “Keep Looking for the Good.”   1.     On one of the coldest days of the year, I got caught in a huge traffic jam on the way to have my car heater repaired.   2.     The temperature was 35 degrees outside and only slightly warmer inside.   ·        Not exactly the best day to be stuck in traffic with no heat.   3.     But while I was sitting in my very frigid car, staring at a endless line of traffic, it brought to light another important truth about overcoming disappointment… ·        There's a big difference between being cold and being left out in the cold.     ·        The first is simply an unpleasant circumstance of life. The second is a distressing place in life.     4.      In the same way, there's a big difference in being disappointed with a temporary situation of life and being disappointed with life in general.   ·        Most disappointments we encounter are nothing more than temporary unpleasant interludes between other normal events.   ·        But problems arise when we allow the occasional let downs of life to create a fatalistic attitude towards life.     5.     I've discovered the most effective way to avoid this pitfall is to maintain a posture of gratitude while you're in a disappointment.   6.     Shivering in the car that morning, my choices were very simple. Either complain and grumble or be thankful and humble.   ·        I chose to wrap my mind in a warm blanket of gratitude. ·        I decided to focus on the long list of things I was thankful for.     7.      Of course, I didn't relish sitting in a cold car during a two hour traffic jam. ·        But, I couldn't change it. ·        And, honestly, the situation could have been much worse.   8.     So I began to recite (out loud) all I was grateful for. ·        Things like warm clothes, warm socks and boots, ·        a full tank of gas, ·        a semi-hot cup of coffee, ·        good health, ·        money in the bank, ·        friends and family who loved me, ·        and so on and so on.    9.     As I focused more and more on the good, my stress began to dissipate. ·        I became less focused on what was trying to steal my joy and more centered on what would revive it.     10. I believe when we form the habit of looking for the good in the “not so good” we actually Teach our Minds to be Joyful.          Closing   1.    I'm not suggesting we should never admit or feel Disappointment.   2.    It's part of life because ….   a.      We live in a fallen world full of fallen people doing fallen things.   3.    But I am suggesting that we use the Plastic Donkey's of life as a reminder…   To Keep it in Perspective, To Keep Giving our Best and To Keep Looking for the Good.   4.    When we do so… we Keep our hearts and minds positioned to KEEP our JOY (during the holidays and throughout the year).       All content is copyrighted by Tawana Lowery and Women World Leaders and cannot be used without express written consent

The most notable Christmas decoration in Bethlehem was a large Nativity scene in ruins, with shepherds climbing piles of rubble and Jesus, Mary, and Joseph huddled in the midst of destruction. Nothing humans do can prevent Jesus from “finding room in the world.” To the contrary, he is just as present on this day after Christmas as he was on that first Christmas two millennia ago. Even more so, in fact, in ways that are deeply hopeful and urgent for our world and our souls.

In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Chris Danielson takes a look at some of the people that are left out of Nativity Scenes, but definitely belong.

As the frost of December settles upon our doorsteps, we often find ourselves contemplating the warmth of love and family that the Christmas  season heralds. Join me as I reflect on a nativity scene—along with the wisdom of Bishop Fulton Sheen and John Paul II.Yet, as we wander the streets of modernity's metaphorical Dublin, we uncover the hollow echoes of a utopian dream, devoid of the warmth and joy found in self-giving love. Our conversation touches on the societal shift towards self-centeredness, and how it fails to satisfy the deepest human yearnings for connection and purpose.Please send donations to support our work to:John Paul II Renewal Center902 S Randall RoadSTE C #296St. Charles, IL. 60174Support the show     Don't forget to sign up for our Newsletter!!  JPll Renewal Center email listFor more information please go to our website: jp2renew.orgSupport the show

The satanic display at the Iowa state capitol building was torn down yesterday in a move that, in many ways, epitomizes the varied approaches believers often take to the Christmas culture wars. But that pagan idol was not the only Christmas display to make headlines in recent days. Taken together, they offer an opportunity to have a much-needed conversation about the best way to engage with the culture about Christmas.   Suggested SEO keywords satanic display iowa Author: Ryan Denison, PhD Narrator: Chris Elkins Subscribe: http://www.denisonforum.org/subscribe Read The Daily Article: https://www.denisonforum.org/daily-article/satanic-display-in-iowa-capitol-torn-down/ First 15 Foundations with Janet Christian Parenting

I love the nativity scene! Growing up, it was my responsibility to assemble it, and I enjoyed arranging all the figures in their proper places, carefully positioning them under our family Christmas tree. But did I overlook a piece? Joseph, check. Mary, check. Baby Jesus, check. Shepherds, check. Wise Men, check. Barn animals, check. However, after reading Revelation, I realized I might have overlooked a significant character. Listen closely to find out who else was present at the nativity scene that you should be aware of.  A huge thank you to Subsplash for sponsoring the podcast, if you're a church looking to increase engagment, give Subaplsh a call or click here for more information http://subsplash.com/simple

The perfect Christmas holiday Day Trip from Rome is a visit to the northern Lazio hill town, Greccio. It's a tiny little town but this year it's the central focus of the Christmas holiday season worldwide. Why? It's where Saint Francis of Assisi created the original Nativity Scene (Presepe in Italian) in 1223 exactly 800 years ago. My husband and I visit Greccio frequently, and have for many years: it's in the Sabine hills just above Contigliano where our family is from. If you decide to make a Day Trip to Greccio, I've got you covered with everything you need to know, including the best places to eat in the area. Have a listen to learn all about it…

Who is there along with Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus?

In this week's message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz invites us to look at the Christmas story through the lens of the shepherds in Luke 2. These were ordinary guys, minding their own business and doing their normal job, when they are all of a sudden thrust into the forefront of the Messiah's arrival.

The season of Advent is a time  of real significant time in the church. This time marks the beginning of a new liturgical year.  It's a time of preparation. It's a time of anticipation as we await the celebration of the birth of Jesus. The word advent comes from the Latin word "adventus", which means coming or arrival. During this sacred time, we reflect on the coming of Christ, his presence in our lives today, and also his promise to return.   Produced, Edited and mixed by Paul R.
